Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in vital signs, clinical laboratory values, and electrocardiogram resultsSubjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Vital signs, clinical laboratory values, and electrocardiogram results

Change from baseline dissociative effects, psychosis, and hallucinatory symptoms as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12)Subjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12) - NPI-12 assesses 12 behavioral domains common in dementia. Higher scores indicate more severe illness.

Change from baseline in physical examinationSubjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Rates of adverse events and serious adverse eventsSubjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Adverse events and serious adverse events

Rates of early termination due to adverse eventsSubjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Early termination due to adverse events

Change from baseline in suicidal ideation and behavior as measured by the Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS)Subjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) is a 16-item scale that assesses the seriousness of suicidality phenomena on a likert-type scale (0 to 4) ranging from 0 = not at all to 4 = extremely

Change from baseline in motor complications as measured by the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part 4Subjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part 4 includes 6 items assessing motor complications, higher scores indicate more serious illness.

Change in total score of the Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS)Subjects will be followed up to 14 days post-dose

Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) is a 16-item scale that assesses the seriousness of suicidality phenomena on a likert-type scale (0 to 4) ranging from 0 = not at all to 4 = extremely
